Oh, so many things happened this weekend...and yet it is never all said...

Highlights:

Friday
-before Lay-on, I threw down 1000 SP to get 5CP, which sure as HELL came in handy that weekend
-Gypsy meeting *hugs family*
-Got to know Brax a bit more as he guarded the inn while I tended the bar

Saturday
-learning how to be a masseuse? Thank you Charlie!!
-Finally getting a silver daggar forged from Gideon
-Having Tobar teach me how to use the thing
-NPCC shift, played a mother, along with Angel, Harley and our "husbands" who lost their children...an hour later, played the children being baked into children cookies
-trying NOT to laugh when they told us IG that they'd reunite with our families...THAT would be interesting to reunite me with...myself?
-Pre feast mod, never healed so many people before... sooooo thankful I got those extra HP
-Delicious feast, everyone thank Kelly
-Ming Na's rain dance worked!
-As Marika, having me and Elona give anyone nearby a "wet gypsy hug"

Sunday
-Learning Soothe and Detect Life from Gaylan, then having an intense conversation about empathy with him
Hookah with Raxas, Sage, Amizar and Thomas...strong but absolutely delicious

So much more than that, but we'll leave it there

+Wearing Magnus' Hat and being told to be heroic

INVOKE MAGNUS!!!

^__^ Well, for what I got to go this event, these are my highlights

-Getting there at 8am like planned was a good start
-Finding out no one was in logistics at 8am, so going into the kitchen and helping out
-GETTING TO SEE MAX (whom I have not seen since last year)
-Helping Creed make breakfast for everyone
-Finally getting my card -thumbs up-
-Waking up Baoyu and Mae, then finding Hamish and seeing his guard sheep!
-NPCing as a Colossal Troll!!! So much fun.
-Waking  up Magnus as a Colossal Troll, and attacking large groups of people as such. (And getting to see everyone! )
-Getting to go out as a roleplay Physician wanting to teach people, which was fun . Why are there not more physicians in Travance that need to be taught things? And why is everyone healed up by Market Faire? Bahh.

Lowlights::
-Having to leave at 1pm to get back home >.<

After all the trouble I went through to make it to the event, it was definitely worth it.

Highlights:
-Roleplaying with Winks. Goblin flirting was obnoxious and silly and fun.
-Spamming my new Charm skill.
-Earning myself Radu's hatred for being green, and having some pretty intense roleplay based on that. Iz'tel's never really gotten a chance to be properly frightened of someone.
-Drunk!Kwildar was, quite possibly, the best thing ever.
-Stealing Magnus's hat from Ninjin and doing more and more stupidly brave things each time I wore it into battle. That hat is magic.
-Teaching Winks the Teach skill and getting goblin balls for it.
-Falling asleep in no less than four different laps after Main Mod.
-Some really excellent roleplay with Blade regarding the new ogres in town.
-NPC shift as the snazzy lizardkin in the red beret.

Lowlights:
-Waking up late and nearly missing NPC shift.
-Not being able to dance in the rain for fear my paint would wash off.
-Bugs and humidity.

In spite of the heat, et cetera, I had a good event.

* Marigold Sylvaine. Having one of my best friends come to game as one of Remi's younger sisters was probably among the best things that has ever happened at KR for me. So much fantastic roleplay, not to mention the fact that she is seriously "terrifying with that pole-axe." I am so looking forward to more of that!

* Yhatzi feast. Seriously, you guys are food-geniuses. Thank you so much for all the time and energy and love you put into feeding us all. It always pays off and tastes wonderful.

* Pendarvin food and hookah on Friday night. That was phenomenally delicious, and I was grateful IG and OOG to have been invited.

* Having a complete breakdown IG and being comforted with hookah and alcohol and chocolate by Pietros. As always, you're a joy to interact with IG and OOG. And if I could steal any secrets from your brain, it would be how to blend hookah flavors the way you do.

* Majah (I might be spelling that wrong,) the bard teacher. I don't know your OOG name, but seriously- you are SUCH a talented singer and roleplayer, and I'm looking forward to you bringing that character out again. *fingers crossed!*  

* "You're one of the few people I can trust to be pure enough to hold these."  I don't know if you noticed the way that made Remi's face glow, but she was pretty happy about that.

* NPCing goblins Saturday night, and saving the day when two PCs were dragged up into a tree and Magnus was webbed. We had way too much fun, including:
Ralenfoly: "So, what do you think of Lord Ardentfyre?"
Goblin 1: "What? Who?"
Ralenfoly: "Ardentfyre."
Goblin 2: "Someone's on fire?"
Ralenfoly: "No... he's a Lord..."
Goblin 1: "Your Lord is on fire?"

* Our new tradition:  Andorran baptisms now end with a group-hug and cheesecake. That baptism was fantastic (and Harley, you are just too damn cute. )  :-*

* Getting to see so many people that I've missed SO much. You guys always make KR fun and worthwhile, no matter what the weather's like or what's going on. Loves!
